You may want to consider looking at debt negotiation as an option to get things right again. You can cut your balances in half sometimes.

Whatever you do don't refinance unsecured debt onto your mortgage. 70k is alot as well. Hopefully it's not all credit cards.....The average american will never pay off more than 25K of credit card debt in their entire lives. Situations vary but I would definately seek counseling about your debt and explore your options on how to manage/ and or get out from underneath it. Debt brings on alot of stress, and you don't want to drive yourself nuts and live your life stewing about your debt all day long. It's just not worth it, and life is too short. No matter how bad it gets realize alot of other people have it worse. I think you will be fine once you seek help and find a solution. And dont feel like your the only one!- Millions of Americans also have the same problems and they are fixable, and by no means permanent damages on your overall lifestyle and well being. Therefore, shake it off, find the best solution and stick to it. You will be in better shape in no time trust me. I hope I have helped you somewhat.

Sorry to hear all that has happened, can you lease the property to make up for any loss you currently have?

Make sure you fully communicate your situation with your lender. They might be willing to modify your loan, or give you a couple month "holiday," or do something else until you can get back on your feet.

Good luck.
